Latest News in mobile world

Palm's has recently lowered the price for its Treo Pro handset, and is now offering it fully unlocked for $399, which is $150 lower than its original price. Unexpected really, usually such deals are found at Amazon. Any takers?

MobileCowboy.nl has unveiled the new Nokia 3720. It is a ruggedized candybar handset using Nokia's S40 UI and is reportedly IP54-certified to withstand water and shock. The phone is expected to be launched in September on T-Mobile, either American or European.

According to recent rumors, the Canadian CDMA carrier TELUS will probably be picking up the new iPhone 3GS in October once it gets its upcoming HSPA network up and running. While it may sound great, don't get your hopes up, this information is nothing but a hearsay. We just couldn't ignore such news.

A photo and some new details have recently surfaced about the HTC Firestone. The main attraction of the said handset is its 8Mpix camera, but if rumors are to be believed, it will also feature:

• Bluetooth;
• Wi-Fi;
• Qualcomm 8250 600 MHz processor;
• Wiindows Mobile 6.5

Also, you can expect the phone to be launched around August, but that's not confirmed.

Here is a couple of new official pics of the Verizon's HTC Ozone (a.k.a. Snap/Ceder/Willow). The handset will be released June 29th for $49.99 after a $70 rebate with 2-year contract. Features include:

No, it's not OnLive, but a similar service called OTOY. Here you see Crysis and Left 4 Dead running on a smartphone, namely the Windows Mobile based Samsung OMNIA. Both games are streamed from a remote server. Looks cool and stupid at the same time, if you ask me. Small screen, serious input lags, and overall it's just lame: playing a PC shooter on a mobile screen using an Xbox360 controller.

Just to let you know: Nokia has recently added three new handsets to the N-Gage compatibility list. If you have recently purchased either N97, N86 8GB or E52, now you won't have any problems gaming on them.
